Easy come, easy go.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Most people are as happy as they make their minds up to be.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Don't cross your bridges before you come to them.

Re: Proverbs/Sayings...

Some of my favorites are:-
1) There's nowt so queer as folk (Popular with folk from the Norhtern towns of England and in use long before queer meant what it does today)
2) No ones perfect, but a team can be (Popular with management consultants and IMO used to justify their exorbitant fees doesn't apply to governments BTW))
3) Take the rough with the smooth (Something which we are all forced to do these days or if not risk being sectioned )
4) A fool and his money are soon parted (This is one I particularly like, especially when reading about some of the TV and film workers that populate our screens these days and of course all those who've been taken in by the crude and malicious letters from Nigeria)

Look before you leap.
Don't cross bridges before you come to them.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
